tion (shading plants and furniture).

Designated use

The AstroTec-868/-868-bidi/-915 bidi may only be used to control

roller shutter and venetian blind systems.

• Before installation in the required assembly position, check

that the transmitter and receiver are functioning properly.

• Fix the bracket onto the wall with the two screws provided.

Note: Radio sets transmitting at the same frequency can lead

to interference in the reception.

It is to be noted that the range of the radio signal is

restricted by legislators and planning regulations.

Explanation of functions

MAN/AUTO sliding switch

In the “MAN ” sliding switch setting, only manual command

controls are executed.

In the “AUTO ” sliding switch setting, manual and automatic

command controls are carried out (e.g. shade function, time,

astro function,...)

Transmission control light

A radio signal is indicated when the transmission control light

comes on. If the UP, STOP and DOWN buttons or programming

button P on the transmitter are held for a longer period, the

transmission control light will go out after 3, 6 and 9 seconds.

This function is a counting aid. After 12 seconds the transmission

control light will go out completely.

If the batteries are low, the transmission control light flashes during

the transmission process. The transmitter power and/or radio range

is reduced when the batteries are low. If the transmission control light

no longer lights up when a button is pressed, the batteries have to be

replaced.

The FUNCTION menu gives you the option of setting the following

functions:

• ROLLER SHUTTER/BLIND (select either shutter or blind)

• RUNNING TIME

• EXPERT MODE

• INITIAL OPERATION (for service purposes)

EXPERT MODE

PRIORITY (factory setting priority = OFF, only visible in expert

mode)

If the priority is switched to “ON“, the clock has a higher priority and

overrides the manual-automatic sliding switch setting of the hand-held

transmitter programmed in the receiver.

Clock commands are executed even if the manual-automatic sliding

switch of the hand-held transmitter programmed in the receiver is set

to ““.

If the manual-automatic clock sliding switch is set to ““, no clock

commands will be executed.

If the priority is “OFF”, clock commands are only executed when the

manual-automatic sliding switch of the hand-held transmitter pro-

grammed in the receiver is set to “”.

SHADING (factory setting shading = OFF, only

visible in expert mode)

If shading is switched to “ON“ the automatic shading system is

switched off with the ““ clock command.

The automatic shading system is switched on by the „“ clock

command.

PREREQUISITE!

The manual-automatic selection switch of the programmed

transmitter has to be set to „“.

As long as the manual-automatic sliding switch of the programmed

transmitter is set to ““ , the automatic shading is always switched off

and is not affected by the timer.

If shading is switched to “OFF“, then the automatic shading system is

not influenced by the clock.
